Have PM'd about some of that lovely stuff LP.
The green mac has an interesting label featuring the Welsh red dragon and the legend "Y Ddraig Goch Ddyry Cychwyn" (loosely translated "The Red Dragon Leads the Way), by "Wales of Ye Old Town of Boston"! Did Boston have much of a Welsh community? - I know Philadelphia did, never heard of much Welsh in Boston however.....?

Not a bad £-$ exchange at the moment. Shamrock is a real gent, too.

Hi, Have you any pics of the brooks olive khaki wash& wear, 42.
Many thanks
Scott
Nope. Its still at the store, it was priced at 35 dollars. its a typical older style brooks 3 roll 2, swollen edge, sack, etc. it looks to be a slimmer fit, lapels are probably the standard 3.5-3.75" . Im going in on sat. to talk to the mgr. and point the stains out, if they sell it for a sane price ill take the risk and try to wash it. if it works out ill let all of youse know...
also some 11EEE allen edmonds white/slate blue saddle bucks, red vibram sole.

Hello gents, I have just added a very large selection of pristine mens silk ties. Including some wonderful silk ties from Turnbull & Asser, New & Lingwood, Gieves & Hawkes, T.M Lewin and Charles Tyrwhitt etc.
I am also just about to add some superb tweed overcoats, more Harris Tweed jackets and other vintage tweed jackets.
Kind regards Denise

Donegal might be of interest; definitely not Harris.
